When i was 16 years old, i assembled a 2.3 million electron volt beta particle accelerator. i went to westinghouse, i got 400 pounds of translator steel, 22 miles of copper wire, and i assembled a 6-kilowatt, 2.3 million electron accelerator in the garage.

If we ask, for instance, whether the position of the electron remains the same, we must say 'no'; if we ask whether the electron's position changes with time, we must say 'no'; if we ask whether the electron is at rest, we must say 'no'; if we ask whether it is in motion, we must say 'no'.
Position Instance Electrons
Supersymmetry is a theory which stipulates that for every known particle there should be a partner particle. for instance, the electron should be paired with a supersymmetric 'selectron,' quarks ought to have 'squark' partners, and so on.
Theory Should Partners
In that memorable year, 1822: oersted, a danish physicist, held in his hands a piece of copper wire, joined by its extremities to the two poles of a volta pile. on his table was a magnetized needle on its pivot, and he suddenly saw (by chance you will say, but chance only favours the mind which is prepared) the needle move and take up a position quite different from the one assigned to it by terrestrial magnetism. a wire carrying an electric current deviates a magnetized needle from its position. that, gentlemen, was the birth of the modern telegraph.

Alpha children wear grey. they work much harder than we do, because they're so frightfully clever. i'm awfully glad i'm a beta, because i don't work so hard. and then we are much better than the gammas and deltas. gammas are stupid. they all wear green, and delta children wear khaki. oh no, i don't want to play with delta children. and epsilons are still worse. they're too stupid to be able to read or write. besides they wear black, which is such a beastly color. i'm so glad i'm a beta.

He then proceeded to shout at alpha and beta, a sign that he was in a genuine good mood. they took it as calmly as ever, in spite of the fact that he accused them of things i'm sure no donkey has ever willingly done, especially not beta, who possessed impeccable moral character.

Animators do amazing working translating and interpolating the characters [in the planet of the apes], the facial performances. what we're creating on set - if you don't get it on the day, in the moment, on set, in front of the camera, with the director and the actors. the emotional content of the scene and the acting choices.
